The guitar itself is solid and holds the tune well. The overall package also represents a fantastic value. Everything one needs is there, including a tuner, a stand, picks and even spare strings. The instructional DVD is quite nice as well. I have no problem following the courses so far. The lessons only cover the basic chords, but still enough to get one started.
The price here fluctuates, but tends not to be very competitive. Some buyers have even received used guitars posing as new. Check out overstock. 26 of 28 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Fender Starcaster Acoustic Guitar Pack with Accessories - Natural (Electronics) [...]
There must be a few versions, because some seem to have a stand and some not. Mine was made in Indonesia, not China. The construction and sound at this price is very good. The assessories are poor to fair. Get a Korg CA-30 chromatic tuner which is not a lot of money. Change the strings to lighter gauge coated strings. They are worth the extra $. I highly recommend this for a beginner or player with limited funds. I changed out the stock Fender strings which sound okay but leave a lot of corrosion on your fingers. I have been using a lighter (11-52 and 12-53) gauge coated Ernie Ball set which I like. After awhile, three weeks, I started getting a fret buzz on the two highest strings when fretting near the nut (low) end. After some messing around with the tension a bit, I noticed that the nuts holding the tuners were loose and tightened them which helped. That could be because I live in a very dry climate...Read more 35 of 42 people found the following review helpful: By John K (Germantown, MD) - See all my reviews This review is from: Fender Starcaster Acoustic Guitar Pack with Accessories - Natural (Electronics) I used to play in band a long time ago, know a little bit about guitars, suggest you avoid this one, it's just not worth the money (and three-stars is being generous). For starters, it's made in China. It's been my experience that musical instruments made in China or Korea are inferior (Japan OK). This one lives up to that reputation. Sound is fair at best, no neck adjustment (strings buzz against frets), quality just not there. I have an older Yamaha acoustic that's probably now in the same price/quality range as this one, and I would rate it superior. I had done research on Fender electric guitars a while back, bought one made in Mexico, it's just fine, but I remember at the time people warning against Korea/China-made Fender guitars. It appears they were right. No axe to grind here, but this one is just not worth $150. I'm going to send back and order the comparably-priced Yamaha - have never had a problem with Yamaha anything. |
